Absolutely Fabulous centres around the work of wealthy international public relations maven Edina Monsoon, her decadent lifestyle and dysfunctional family.

Baby-boomer Edina's self-indulgent, substance abusing behaviour is contrasted by and frequently comes into conflict with her sensible, practical, Generation X daughter Saffron.

Throughout the series Edina and Patsy embark on a kaleidoscope of self-involved, attention seeking escapades in the fast world of the rich and famous - often dragging the family along for the ride.
